Help us welcome back students

Remember when you needed a little extra encouragement to succeed at OSU and beyond? Steven Fenaroli, ’14, does — that’s why the grad sent a BEaver KIND message to help students this fall.

“Oregon State is something permanent in your life. Your degree is your ticket to the best alumni network around. Beaver Nation spans far and wide. Keep working hard and persist through the tough times. It will be worth it in the end.”

Possibilities are endless when Beavers come together to support each other

Take Taniah Johnson, for example. Taniah earned her bachelor's degree online through OSU Ecampus while serving active duty in the U.S. Air Force. Now, a successful Department of Defense employee, Taniah says she’s grateful to donors who enable more students like her to seek higher education.

“This incredible generosity lets me know that there are people out there who don’t know me but are so invested in my well-being and education that they give me money from their own pockets to ensure my success,” Taniah says.

You can support Beavers like Taniah by making a gift to support OSU veteran and military-connected students as they pursue their academic and career goals.
